14 Alone With Her.

Lifen turned to look at Deming. Her face was full of disappointment. "Are you satisfied now, Shall we proceed?", Deming said with a devilish smug on his face.

She pouted and said, "Why are you like this? Do you treat every delivery person like this?"

"Nope. Who said that to you? You are the first one delivering in the Wang Palace. I have never ordered anything from outside", he said.

"Then Master, why are you being so graceful on me ( thinking inside: Master my foot if my will could prevail in this world, I should have addressed him directly as Beast, that character suits him the best)", Lifen said in a polite way.

"Ofcourse, that's because you are special. And do I really act as a beast in front of you, as I haven't shown you any of my beast skill till now, Little Cat. And you don't even know how much effort I have put to bring you here",Deming said while recalling the plan which he had executed to bring her in there.

[He recalled that last night he asked Murphy to bring every information regarding Lifen and her family to him, each and every minute details of their coffee-bar Impresso-Expresso. On which Murphy got surprised and wanted to ask him what is he trying to do. But in return, Deming just stared him blankly which implied that he will handle it and doesn't want anyone's interference in it. After an half an hour, Murphy forwarded all the details on his mail. With the information he schemed an opportunity which will profit Impresso-Expresso as well as bring him one step closer to Lifen.

He asked Murphy to call them and directed him his plan. The call was picked by Father Wu. He seemed to have just returned from his hometown. Hearing the proposal, he seemed to be satisfied and thought to give a try so he accepted it as Deming has planned. The next day when Lifen reached Wang Palace, Deming was monitoring everything through the CCTV, when he called the guards to refuse the request Lifen has made and let her enter the place.

He then intentionally went to take hot water bath, to present himself more alluring in front of her. He also gave a call to the butler to give a half day off to everyone.]

So at this moment, he is alone at the mansion with his Little Cat. He didn't knew what makes him this much happy. But he is kind of loving the nervousness of Lifen which gets triggered because of his closeness.

"Hey, wait, what do you mean by 'efforts'? Have you did all this intentionally, just to bring me here?", Lifen widened her eyes in surprise.

Deming again resumed taking steps towards her, looking intensely into her eyes,"You have got such a beautiful big eyes Little Cat. They are so intense..."

"What are you starting up again. Just quickly taste the pastries and give me the feedback", Lifen walked towards the dining table ignoring his eyes.

Deming turned halfway and looked at her moving faster towards the dining hall. He reached beside her and was about to sit but his gaze was still on her.

Suddenly Lifen phone rang again which displayed the picture of Daiyu. She took the phone to receive the call but before she could ,"Stop. You can't take calls during work, this is something called general work ethics", Deming said and took away her phone. The call ended.

"Yeah but we haven't started yet. Give back my phone. Please ....what's wrong with you...you can't take my phone like that...",she tip-toed her best to get back her phone from Deming who held the phone at a height. Suddenly she realized that she is very much close to him.

She backed a few steps, ignoring his stare and her phone rang again, this time it displayed a different name which made Deming eyes a little darkened. It was the name he had heard yesterday from Murphy. It displayed 'Chang' with a handsome face flashing on the screen.
